Claas has unveiled its new Axion 9 giant tractor sequence at Agritechnica, that includes 5 wheeled fashions and two Terra Trac crawler variants protecting 330 to 450hp. The tractors mix a redesigned premium cab, new digital infrastructure and superior help programs as much as Autonomy Stage 2, delivering most efficiency with improved effectivity and financial system for big farms and contractors.
All Axion 9 fashions are powered by the latest-generation FPT Cursor 9 six-cylinder engine with 8.7-litre displacement, producing most torque of 1,571 to 1,850Nm. The brand new dynamic Auto Droop operate optimally adjusts engine droop to present duties, making certain optimum energy supply and most effectivity. When idling, velocity reduces to 650rpm to avoid wasting gasoline and decrease noise ranges.
Gasoline capability has elevated to 712 litres on wheeled fashions and 860 litres on Terra Trac variations. The engines are HVO-approved, decreasing carbon footprint by as much as 90%. Upkeep intervals have been prolonged, with oil adjustments now required each 750 working hours as a substitute of 600.
The CMatic transmission options fully redesigned digital drive administration with adaptive, predictive management. The groundbreaking Auto Load Anticipation operate constantly optimises engine speeds and transmission ratios primarily based on adaptive algorithms, detecting load jumps upfront and proactively adjusting engine velocity. This maintains secure driving behaviour throughout dynamic adjustments and prevents velocity drops. Claas acquired a silver Agritechnica Innovation Award for this progressive drivetrain administration system.
The automated trailer brake from the Arion CMatic sequence is now accessible on Axion 9, growing security with heavy trailers and towed implements.
The Axion 9.360 and 9.450 can be found as Terra Trac variations with totally suspended chassis, combining tractive drive, soil safety and luxury. The tractors supply as much as 50% extra contact space than normal wheels, with a most exterior width of three.00m. Observe widths of 457mm, 635mm, 735mm and 890mm allow functions from delicate soil operations to managed site visitors farming.
The Terra Trac operating gear options oil sight glasses, bolstered observe belts and improved curler coatings. Non-obligatory CTIC tyre strain management programs can be found on the entrance axle for Terra Trac fashions, whereas wheeled tractors might be geared up with the CTIC 2800 system on each axles.
The fully redesigned cab provides three cubic metres of inside area with a most noise stage of simply 66 dB(A). The four-pillar design options the widest entry in its class, premium driver’s seats with non-compulsory air flow, heating and therapeutic massage capabilities, and a swivel angle of as much as 40 levels proper for improved implement visibility.
Three built-in cameras monitor work high quality and course of progress, with high-resolution photos that may be zoomed and panned on the CEBIS join terminal. A brand new 360-degree LED lighting idea with as much as 22 LED headlamps gives 56,000 lumens for night time operations.
The mechanical four-point suspension idea with angled dampers reduces vibrations whereas sustaining consolation, working in concord with the revised entrance axle suspension.
The brand new CEBIS join system incorporates a 12-inch fundamental display screen within the armrest plus a second 12-inch contact terminal, with the GPS Pilot steering system displayable on each screens. Machine parameters seem on an extra height-adjustable terminal in the best A-pillar.
Working hydraulics ship as much as 370 l/min from the usual 220 l/min pump plus an non-compulsory 150 l/min pump. As much as eight double-acting management circuits can provide rear implements, with ¾-inch connections offering as much as 170 l/min by a single line. Raise capability reaches 11-13 tonnes on the rear and 6.5 tonnes on the entrance.
Claas join gives complete networking from machine configuration to fleet administration and precision farming functions. The system provides order administration, computerized documentation, real-time data and detailed evaluation capabilities.
The AgXeed VCU permits totally automated process completion at Autonomy Stage 2, launching in 2026. Pre-created work orders from Claas join are imported to the AgXeed TraXwise platform, the place operators can begin duties with a single faucet. The tractor and attachment then full subject work independently, together with automated steering, impediment avoidance, headland administration and site-specific price management, whereas the operator displays high quality and may override when mandatory.
